NOVEL FROG Chapter 83
The defense of the Xianzhen Camp at the gate of Xia Pi City was quite tight!
Even Cao Jian couldn't help but secretly praise it when he saw it:
"It must be said that Gao Shun is indeed a rare genius in training soldiers!
The"Entrapment Camp" soldiers he trained are of a quality rarely seen in the world.……"
Facing the attack of Cao's elite troops, they could still persist in resisting?
Even when the morale of the whole army was low and they saw their lord Lu Bu being defeated, they could still maintain a very good combat effectiveness, just like a bunch of emotionless fighting machines!
Even if Xu Chu, a tiger general, did it himself, it took a lot of effort!
Only then did they completely clean up the hundreds of elite"Entrapment Camp" blocking the city gate!
At this time, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao had already protected Lu Bu and ran away...
Everyone was cursing.
Fortunately, there was the reassurance pill Cao Jian had just given them!
Everyone knew that Lu Bu and others would eventually not be able to escape from his palm!
This made Xu Chu, the iron fool, feel a little better.
Afterwards, under the leadership of Cao Jian:
Xu Chu led a pair of elite light cavalry and entered the city in a mighty manner!
After entering the city, looking around?
All I saw was a mess, and it was a mess everywhere!
At this time, the city was obviously in complete chaos...
Although under Chen Gong's deployment, a lot of troops were left in the city to resist!
But how many trap camps are there in such a large army?
What's more, the entire trap camp is only less than a thousand people!
Most of the remaining soldiers are just ordinary soldiers! They are not even elite or old soldiers!
How can they resist the elite cavalry of Cao's army, whose morale is now extremely high?
What's more, this elite vanguard of the Cao family: not only has"Tiger Crazy" Xu Chu in charge; but also Cao Jian, the invincible general who is as powerful as the god of war!
The supreme pressure is simply released!
There is no need to do anything!
The enemy soldiers who have no leader have surrendered without a fight!
There is no doubt that the result of this siege battle is almost no suspense!
It can be said that: Cao's army unilaterally plundered the guards in the city!
…………
Xia Pi City, South Gate.
Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others escorted Lv Bu to retreat all the way to the city!
They finally avoided the charge of Cao Jian, Xu Chu and other elite troops!
When they were about to escape to the South Gate?
The soldier in front who was responsible for clearing the way had just run out of the city gate not far away!
In an instant, the sound of cannons outside the city gate was heard!
Then, a general of the Cao army was seen, with a sword drawn and a horse on his back!
He led two ambushes outside the city gate and suddenly rushed out!
It was when the Cao family army charged just now that Yu Jin, who was responsible for attacking from the west and detoured to the south of the city, was waiting here and ambushed with his 5,000 troops!
"Lu Bu, don't go——！.！"
"Yu Jin is here, waiting for a long time!"
He suddenly shouted!
The two rows of archers behind him immediately started shooting arrows!
In an instant, only to hear:
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!——！"
"……"
Countless arrows were fired at him!
Suddenly, it was like a rain of arrows, overwhelming the sky!
In such a hurry, Lu Bu's side had no time to dodge?
Then, there were painful howls!
"ah——！"
"oops——！"
"……"
In the blink of an eye, a large number of soldiers who were at the front had already fallen!
Seeing this, military advisor Chen Gong's face changed drastically:
"Oh no! We have fallen into an ambush by Cao Cao!"
"The whole army retreats quickly——！"
"Retreat to the city quickly! Find another way out……"
Seeing this, the soldiers immediately retreated!
However, at this moment!
Outside Xia Pi City, the wide moat originally used for defense!
It suddenly became the biggest obstacle for everyone to retreat!
Thousands of troops were waiting to escape back to the city to save their lives!
There was only a narrow wooden bridge on the moat at the entrance of the huge city gate!
At this time, Yu Jin and other ambush archers were still shooting arrows!
For a while, all the soldiers under Lu Bu rushed to the bridge!
Soon, there were sounds of escaping, wailing and shouting, trampling, and the"plop" sound of being squeezed into the water!
All kinds of sounds mixed together and never stopped!
In the end, they formed a miserable scene together...
When Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others finally retreated back to the city?
At least more than 3,000 soldiers who had just escaped together at the south gate had been reduced!
The loss was not small!
After a brief discussion, everyone.
Military strategist Chen Gong immediately decided: turn around and run towards the nearest west gate!
Even though they actively learned from their lessons and were much more vigilant than before!
However, not long after they ran out of the west gate! (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!) they once again faced an ambush by Cao's army similar to the one just now!
Cao Hong was the first to take the lead and had been waiting here for a long time!
"Hahaha! Cao Hong is here!
Those of you who are not afraid of death, just come over here!"
Accompanied by his loud laughter!
Cao's army then launched another powerful attack!
Instantly gave it to Lu Bu's side, and once again attacked with an overwhelming rain of arrows!
There is no doubt that Lu Bu's side has suffered a lot of casualties!
After counting the troops and horses, the loss was at least more than two thousand...
Chen Gong and others were furious about this!
In desperation, they had to retreat back to the city again!
But where should they escape next?
This has undoubtedly become the most troublesome problem in everyone's mind!
At this moment!
Xia Pi City has four gates in the east, west, south and north: the east gate is the direction of the main force of Cao's army's attack, and it is not considered at all; the south gate is guarded by Yu Jin and has been tried; the west gate has just suffered a setback, and it is impossible to suffer another wave of damage!
So, in front of everyone, there is only There are two paths: either flee to the north gate and try your luck again? What if there is no Cao army guarding that place, or the defense is the weakest?
Or, simply give up escaping!
Everyone, all fight with all their might in the city!
Maybe, there is still a chance to survive!
However, if they fight to the death, they will undoubtedly face the attack of the main force of Cao's army!
As soon as the enemy soldiers think of Cao Jian, the invincible force in the world?
One by one, they suddenly start to feel scared in their hearts...
In the final analysis, these two paths: no matter which one, it seems that it is not very reliable!
After all, where should we go?
As the saying goes,"choose the lesser of two evils"!
After a simple comparison!
From the military advisor Chen Gong, to Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, the two most powerful generals!
Almost all the important leaders under Lu Bu agreed: concentrate With all the remaining strength, try your luck at the north gate again!
In this way, even if we really encounter an ambush?
At that time, the worst that can happen is a desperate battle and try our best to fight our way out!
So, everyone had an extremely complicated and heavy mood!
Together with one mind, they went straight to the north gate...
There is no doubt that Cao's army also has an ambush at the north gate!
At this time, the one in charge of guarding here is Li Dian, a rare Confucian general in Cao's camp! However, his purpose is not to completely block Lu Bu's party in the city!
Just symbolically and simply block it: more or less causing a wave of casualties to the enemy, that's enough!
The art of war says,"A siege must have a gap"!
Simply put, when besieging a city, if the enemy still has enough manpower and has the spare strength to counterattack, the besiegers will most likely deliberately leave some A gap!
In this way, the enemy army can see the hope of escape! In this way, it will not be a desperate situation because the enemy army is desperate!
Because of this consideration, (good) Li Dian simply released a wave of arrows to attack and kill!
Afterwards, he deliberately pretended to be defeated:
Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others were released to heaven...
This kind of fake defeat like acting, this Confucian general obviously did a good job!
At least better than Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and other rough men, much better!
When the enemy troops in the city filed out, those who should leave the city, almost all escaped?
The vanguard troops led by Cao Jian and Xu Chu, and the main forces led by Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others, only then"came late" and began to chase behind the enemy with a set purpose...
Chen Deng and others finally escaped from Xia Pi City!
While they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts, they had no idea that the direction of their escape and being chased had already been designed in advance by Cao Jian and others!
As a result, Lü Bu and his party were unknowingly trapped: they were constantly chased by Cao's army and began to run towards a bare earthen hill outside Xia Pi City! And that earthen hill was exactly where Guan Yu was trapped by Cao's army in the parallel world of later generations.
"��The place where the three things of the mountain are agreed upon!
But at this moment!
A similar routine was arranged in advance by Cao Jian: it was used on Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others.……
